Senate votes pause tax reform as budget battle delays action
The Senate approved a non-binding measure by 72 to 24 urging delay on tax revision until a budget deal reduces the deficit. Finance Committee members split, with Dole among supporters of the resolution, while Packwood pressed ahead drafting the tax bill amid new shifts on write-offs and rental property treatment. The panel’s changes add about $11 billion in costs over five years, prompting plans to find offsetting revenues.

Reagan says House tactic on contra aid shocks president
President Reagan told House Democrats he was shocked by Speaker ONeill tying a $100 million contra aid package to a veto bait spending bill. White House aides said the move betrays a pledge not to play games, while ONeill argued the White House broke a promise and made the issue partisan. Rep Aspin signaled support for a separate vote and predicted a form of aid with restrictions would pass, though the tactic could threaten a veto if the Rules Committee backs the tie.
